PGE will allow grid charging. Keep pushing to get Tesla to support it. If it is a competitive advantage this may give them reason to change stance. Otherwise a 3rd party small market will grow to fool the Powerwall into grid charging during cheap ToU power prices. I am not sure this is easily automated but I imagine it can be done. There are other folks using a 3rd party API with a Rasberry pi to force multiple peak ToU pricing because in some states its not currently supported in the app.
Depending on roof slop North roofs are ok...ish especially northwest ones. Pure North Roofs are probably losers unless 18 degrees or less, and even then its a 25% hit or so in annual production and worse in Winter. With steep north facing roofs, the sun might not even shine on it all winter. A slight tilt to 5 degrees south will do wonders for production at the cost of aesthetics.
Try to optimize afternoon production after 3 pm if you have the roof open. Those pure west facing summer production hours are worth triple, so whatever you can do to get more of them is ideal.
